Lily Bunny practices counting by starting with herself as one and working her way through her Busytown neighborhood until she counts 10 hatching chicks at Farmer Fox's farm. But the stakes rise when Lily's parents sugges... more &raquot she go for 11 through 20. This takes the help of Huckleberry Cat and Lowly Worm, and some adventures involving balloons, grocery store trips, and the like. The numerals appear on the screen each time Lily counts, and she recaps in song after counting to 10 and then to 20, making it easy for young counters to follow along. Richard Scarry's classic animated characters provide a fun and educational 24 minutes for kids ages 2 to 5. --Kimberly Heinrichs&laquo less

Great learning tool!

"I am really anti-videos for young children, theoretically! However, I have found this video to be very helpful in getting my 2 year old to understand the concept of counting. She could count to 20 before, but now she counts out everything from goldfish to babies! and she does it correctly! She loves this video and I don't mind her watching it! It is very sweet and likeable and has some catchy songs. I highly recommend it."

"My cousins who are 3 years and 19 months began to watch this film. The three year old picked up on counting right away. The 19 month old began to count a couple of weeks later. We have been amazed at their progress in such a short time. They love to watch this video, as it is colorful and very entertaining."

This is a GREAT video

"My son is transfixed with this video. He knew how to countbefore we got it (he is 2), but this video really taught him theconcept of counting - not just memorizing the numbers."

My almost 3 year old son LOVES this DVD!!

"I purchased Richard Scarry's Counting and ABC's video at the same time. The ABC's video is slightly better than this one (in my opinion) but my son adores them both and watches them back to back (we watch ABC's then he asks for the Counting DVD). My son already knew most of his ABC's (I'm using that DVD for reading as well) but he could only count to 10 and only recognized numbers up to 5. We haven't had these DVD's for a week yet and my son's already recognizing his numbers upto 10 and repeats the higher numbers. I recommend this DVD OVER Sesame Street's 123 Count With me that basically only goes upto 15 (except for a counting song that goes upto 20) but my son loves that DVD as well. [...]"
